Sonhos

Cultural Context

Sonhos, meaning 'dreams' in Portuguese, are a beloved treat in Portugal, often enjoyed during festive occasions and family gatherings. These light and fluffy doughnuts are deep-fried and typically dusted with sugar and cinnamon, embodying the warmth of Portuguese hospitality. While they are traditionally made with simple ingredients, variations have emerged, including fillings like custard or chocolate, making them a popular choice for both locals and visitors alike.
